A Football Symphony-Four Championship Seasons of Curtis Viking Football tracks the journey of four state championship football teams (1989, 1990, 1995, and 1996) from Curtis High School in Washington State. It includes the ups and downs of each season, the dramatic wins, and how each team responded to its one loss. Identifying the foundational values upon which the football program was built, the book traces how commitment to excellence led to continuous improvement, how trust led to buy-in and ownership by players and coaches, and how caring led to an expanded and unified sense of community. The commitment to excellence provided the vision and guiding purpose for the team. Trust provided the relational foundation for coaches and players to work together, united in purpose. Caring created the connectedness and sense of community that empowered the players to live for a purpose greater than themselves.

Examples of continuous improvement can be seen in how each of the four teams responded to adversity. Each team had one loss, and each time, the team responded with a convincing victory. The four Curtis teams demonstrated the ability to put together their best efforts in big games, including state championship games. Examples of buy-in and ownership are illustrated by numerous examples of proactive leadership exhibited by players. Examples of a caring, fostering community include a student at Curtis who was four feet six inches and weighed only 49 pounds, yet he became a contributing member of the team.

The authors, who coached together at Curtis High School, have 60 years combined coaching experience, including 40 years head coaching experience. Based upon their experience, the book shows how a team can be successful and how a coach builds a winning program, from the physical and mental components of the game to program organization and philosophy. The authors also share the defensive and offensive principles that helped Curtis be successful. These insights would be of assistance to any aspiring football coach and of interest to any football fan.

This book is both an entertaining story of four great teams, each of which won a state championship, and an instructional guide on how to build a successful football program.
